TGIF, everyone - Sister Toldjah

I had just written a semi-lengthy post and it got lost in cyberspace thanks to the site going down for about two minutes. Sigh. I’ll try again.

I’m going to be out and about today running errands. Been trying to get some stuff in order this week in terms of cleaning out old junk in anticipation of hearing that my loan has (hopefully) been approved for the townhome I’m wanting to move into. Once I know for sure, I’ll start packing. Haven’t heard anything definite but all signs look good right now. There’ve been some red tape delays this month, as well as the fact that the process has taken place during the holidays when people typically take vacations. Also, the week that the appraisal was supposed to be done, we had bad weather so it was delayed a few days. Things seem to be pulling together now, though. I hope to know something by the end of the day today or at the latest early next week.

I’ll hopefully be able to catch up on some blogging tonight but in case I don’t, consider this an open thread to discuss whatever you wish

FYI: if you attempt to post a comment that doesn’t immediately show up, it’s likely stuck in the moderation queue. As time permits today, I’ll release those non troll/spam comments.

If I know that one of my articles is going to be lengthy (and brevity has never been a particular concern of mine), I’ll write it in Microsoft Word, and then copy and paste the whole thing at once into WordPress.

I see that you do use WordPress: my advice is to use that “Save and Continue Editing” button a lot!

Zeester –

You da best, bar none!

I wish you and yours all the best for 2006!

Let the media come to you … stars *do* attract light contrary to popular belief!

May 2006 bring you more than you dream of but less than you desire – and all the you need … and more! ;o)

Chick that is my hope and prayer for Sister too. I cannot wait until she is sitting in front of a fire enjoying a class of Chardoney, whilst blogging awhile the hours in her own new place. Miss Muffin laying in her bed at Sister’s feet just purring away. – Lorica

Uhhh, Chick, the stars that attract light are black holes.

Totally agree with below:

Backup the article in case the computer has a problem too.

If you use Firefox, you should check out the ‘performancing‘ extension. It’s a very cool editor designed for wordpress (well, designed for others too, but has a specific wordpress config). It’s much harder to lose your post if you use it.
